As the central team at UnternehmerTUM, we serve as the hub for flagship events and internal communications at Europe’s leading center for innovation and entrepreneurship. Whether it’s the MSC Frontier Tech Hub, the UnternehmerTUM Forum, or the Ultimate Demo Day: Together with internal and external partners, we organize our annual top-tier conferences and pitch events in Munich, attracting up to 800 guests. We take the lead at every stage of an event—from initial conception through operational and content implementation to evaluation—thereby creating exclusive networking platforms for deep-tech startups, investors, and corporations. As a cross-functional department within UnternehmerTUM—which has a staff of about 400—we also manage internal communications, including the monthly company meeting and team events.
